Description
First published in 1797, The Columbian Orator helped shape the American mind for the next half century, going through some 23 editions and totaling 200,000 copies in sales. The book was read by virtually every American schoolboy in the first half of the 19th century. As a slave youth, Frederick Douglass owned just one book, and read it frequently, referring to it as a "gem" and his "rich treasure."
The Columbian Orator presents 84 selections, most of which are notable examples of oratory on such subjects as nationalism, religious faith, individual liberty, freedom, and slavery, including pieces by Washington, Franklin, Milton, Socrates, and Cicero, as well as heroic poetry and dramatic dialogues. Augmenting these is an essay on effective public speaking which influenced Abraham Lincoln as a young politician. As America experiences a resurgence of interest in the art of debating and oratory, The Columbian Orator--whether as historical artifact or contemporary guidebook--is one of those rare books to be valued for what it meant in its own time, and for how its ideas have endured. Above all, this book is a remarkable compilation of Enlightenment era thought and language that has stood the test of time.

Description
One in a series of eight books which looks at the problems associated with ethnic groups and minorities over a time span of 100 years from the middle of the 19th century to the beginning of the Second World War - the peak years for national conflicts in Europe. Key features of the project are a selective thematic approach and the application of comparative methods. Eight themes were selected for detailed attention and a distinguished team of contributors, representing a variety of disciplines - history, theology, education, law, sociology, anthropology and geography - were recruited from all over Europe.
